    Amazing seafood pasta!
    Marsha P.

    Service was excellent and English friendly as they have an Italian menu but change it to English for you. Delicious pizza and seafood pasta. Also loved the bruschetta was yummy. The house fed is really good! Get a bottle!

    Swordfish with baby tomatoes & Capers! Very flavorful!

    First time visit. Excellent, warm and attentive Service from our waiter "Kahn". Tasty, hot fresh appetizers with super entrees. Try the "Lobster & Pasta", Swordfish, or Ravioli and Sausage. Cool "Cave" dining area below.

    The mushroom and sausage pizza was so good! Would recommend coming here with a couple of friends and sharing a couple of pizzas. The pizza does get tiring if you only get one type so try at least two different types. The ravioli is tasty as well but the portion was a little small. Service was alright, but it makes sense because sometimes it gets quite packed in this restaurant.

    Fresh oysters

    My family's favorite restaurant in Rome. We ate dinner here last year because it was near my school (and I came here a few times with some of my friends) and my parents absolutely loved the food. We are back in Rome again this year, and this is one of our first stops. The pastas are amazing (our favorites are the orichette with broccoli and sausage, spaghetti with clams, and the linguine with lobster. We also had some oysters which were very fresh, a mixed appetizer plate with amazing octopus. Only con is that the shrimp and avocado salad only had one slice of avocado, and too much dressing. The fried fish platter was very good as well. The prices are very very reasonable (a little on the cheap side too!) the service is great, and it is a very comfortable restaurant (with a very cute "grotto" seating inside). This is definitely a must-visit place in our future trips to Rome.

    Seafood pasta 12euros. Lemon sauce, mussels, zucchini flowers!

    Great outdoor dining. Order everything. Seafood pasta with lemon sauce, grilled lobster, lamb dish.

    SUCH GOOD FOOD. All the food tasted fresh and you could tell the quality ingredients that go into the food. We came when the restaurant just opened so there was no wait. I forgot the name of the pasta I got but it's the ear shaped pasta with broccoli and sausage. I would highly recommend. The mushroom and sausage pizza was super tasty too. Pizza is kinda small and thin but totally worth it. Really nice service too!!

    Most of it eaten here, this is the porcini mushrooms. I love fresh porcini!!!

    My first day in Rome I came here. Wood Oven Pizza was amazing. The selection of wine was great including good Roman wine.

    The mussels are amazing as well as spaghetti allo scoglio. It was kind of pricey so I only ate here a few times.

    Everyone needs a trip to Italy, if nothing more than to enjoy all of the food…read more When you've landed, you're hungry, and it's not lunch time, and it's not dinner time, you may end up, selling for whatever you can find is open We were absolutely starving, and wanting to indulge in our first Italian meal, what do you do when you're in Italy?! You may want to indulge in pasta or pizza! We walked in, and we were immediately seated. Air conditioning is nonexistent, and on a hot summer day, it would've been cooler to dine outside. had that been an option, and it was 95° out. As soon as we were seated, we were immediately told that Pizza and some of their baked Italian dishes were not going to be available. Boo. The wait staff seemed fairly nice, and offered to bring us glasses of water. The glasses were super tiny, and thankfully the waitress brought over a carafe of water. We asked for a few suggestions, since both of us had been craving pizza, and she suggested the Carbonara. She said it was one of the best dishes. While we were waiting for our food, several other tables were immediately filled up with other customers, families and friends alike. It was interesting that those tables were served pizza... I'll just leave it at that. The carbonara Was anything less than delicious. We both found the pasta to be barely cooked. Not al dente, but barely cooked. The seasoning was mediocre, and there was very little pork, which is supposed to be the highlight of this dish, in this dish. Diners tip: if you are not a local, keep in mind that your version of Customer Service may or may not fit what Customer Service is in Rome. Despite being hungry, I had a hard time, finishing the food, let alone actually eating it. The waitress only came over at the end to drop off the check, and when she noticed that I had barely eaten anything, first gave me a strange look, and then asked about it. It was definitely one of those situations where saying something was wrong would've been met with unwanted attention. This is in a place to add to your must try list... There are plenty of other places, even in and around this area that more than likely would be a better choice.

    Bufala pizza with red sauce and lasagna was excellent. Seating was fast and good serviceread more
